C-drama Ratings and Celeb Rankings (week starting Dec 25)

Dear Them is down to its final week which ends Monday, New Year's Day. It has managed to lead with CSM52 ratings that have broken past 1.0% on average. Kite is a close second, third and an occasional first with its simultaneous broadcast on Dragon TV and Beijing TV. Meanwhile, rankings have swapped between Red Rose and As Flowers Fade and Fly Across the Sky as the former widens the gap to inch very close to 1.0%.

Love of Aurora chugs along with the same numbers while Nirvana in Fire 2 continues to lag due to lackluster television ratings. On the bright side, its web broadcast seems to be doing better as it slides into the Vlinkage top ten in ninth place along with leading man Liu Hao Ran who jumped to sixth.
